I wouldn't mind moving a few more copies out of this stack of 100 freshly printed books! So I'm knocking $3 off and it's shipped free in the US ($3 off international shipping).

The license comes from the VMS Hobbyist Program. It's good for any version of VMS, from 0.whateveryoucanfind to 8.4.
Even though early versions of VMS do not enforce licensing through the LMF, it's still required.
Media can be borrowed. HP doesn't care where you get it, but asks that it not be posted for public download.

> Should we define Esperanto as a "living human language"?
That is a question that has arisen in the context of creole studies and
the study of linguistic universals in linguistics. Esperanto as defined
by Zamenhof violates several apparent universals of human language, and
speakers have smoothed out some of those rough edges.
In addition, there are reports of native speakers of Esperanto, defined
as children for whom it is the first language, learned in environments
in which only Esperanto was spoken. These reports have been questioned,
as one might imagine, but I personally have not followed up on them as
they fall outside my personal interests.
So: If there are children who speak it natively, then the answer to
Fred's question is certainly "yes". Given the very large community for
whom it is a useful second language, with literature as well, then the
answer is "yes, probably". If it were restricted (as it is not) to a
minimal vocabulary with no potential for growth, then the answer would
be "certainly not".
I'm of the "yes, probably" camp most of the time.

So I decided to write a TU58 emulator for my 6809 SBC to serve "tapes"
>from an SD card. So far, I've only implemented a first version of the
read side. It seems to work on an XXDP image I found online.
However, when I try to boot an RT-11 tape image, I get:
@1000G?BOOT-W-Error reading handler
?BOOT-W-Error reading handler
...
?BOOT-W-Error reading handler
RT-11SJ V04.00A
?BOOT-W-Invalid or missing TT.SYS
?KMON-U-Overlay read error
.
.SHOW
?KMON-U-Overlay read error
Any ideas on what might be causing this? I've dug up the old rtpip
code and gotten it partially working in a more current environment,
and it seems to be happy with the tape images I have. I've had this
happen on two tape images. Also the original tapes from which these
images were made are ones that I've booted from (after I made the tape
images), albeit over 20 years ago. So it looks like either something
strange in my tape images or something in my emulator that works to
load the secondary boot, but fails for loading some other parts of the
tape.

I have some boards with gold fingers that match S100, but are obviously
not. For one, they're dated to 1973 and from Intel. Also, they're two
inches narrower and 1.5 inches taller than an S100 board. What are they?

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
I've been working on getting shelving installed in our Garage, and as
a result, I've been digging back to some systems that have been
buried. Right now I'm moving a bunch of Sun hardware and it hit me.
What good are old UNIX systems? I'm curious, what are people using
things like Sparc 2's through 20's for? Or even Ultra 60's and
older? Part of the problem I'm looking at is that you can get
something like a Raspberry Pi that will cost a fraction of what a Sun
system costs to run.
I won't ask this about my two SGI O2's, as they're artwork.
BTW, I'll be honest, I'm actually using two Sparc 20's right now.
Each one sits on top of two Record Crates, and acts as a speaker
stand. They've filled that role for several years. Somehow though,
furniture and artworks really aren't the uses I'm looking for. :-)

Vintage Apple-1 Sells for Record $671,400
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/25/vintage-apple-1-sells-for-record-6…
Whoever bought the thing from Mr. Hatfield earlier this year really should
be ashamed of himself. I for one hope someone out there could at least
send Mr. Hatfield one of the Apple I replicas.

If I send this entire list to the recyclers to watch out for, which items on
this list of 73 things are NOT wanted?

I am trying to find out some information about this transistor from my ASR33
Teletype. Ideally a datasheet to tell me what kind of transistor it is, and
even better any information on whether it has a modern equivalent. This
page: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/parts/167680-vintage-transistors-6.html
suggests it might be a 2N176, but I am not sure. Anyone have any
information, old datasheets or anything else that may help?
Thanks
Rob
Does anyone have information regarding modifying a pdp11/93 cpu to run
at 20Mhz? It's been mentioned on a couple of web pages, but I can't
seem to find details.
Thanks!
